Selena listened to his magnetic voice and sensed the pent-up, contradictory emotions in his voice. He was usually such a solemn man in public, but his voice sounded captivating through the speakers.
She didn’t dare to make a sound, so she had no choice but to hang up the phone before quickly sending a message as a reply. ‘My cousin’s here with me, so it’s inconvenient for me to take the call. Good night and rest well.’
After Selena said that, she swiftly deleted every single message from before.
He replied, “Okay. Good night.”
After deleting the messages and making sure that Jared stopped sending any messages, Selena finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, she couldn’t contain the raging jealous emotions within her.
At that instance, Ellen came over with some warm milk. Selena hurriedly flung Ellen’s phone aside and pretended nothing had happened.
“Ellie, I’ll head back to my room.” Selena took the glass of milk from Ellen after saying that and went back to her room guiltily.
Meanwhile, Ellen wanted to look at the time, so she took the pillow aside and found her cell phone tucked. underneath. She took it and glanced at the time. 11.00PM. I have work tomorrow. Let’s stop the game. She decided to shut her eyes and go to bed.
As for Selena, she had trouble sleeping in the room next door as she couldn’t stop admiring the photo Jared had sent. She became increasingly jealous as she continued to look at the photo. That was because Jared had sent the photo specifically to Ellen. This indicated that, in his mind, he hoped that Ellen was the only one who enjoyed that photo.
Selena thought she should feel quite smug to have done what she did, but actually, she felt terrible, and the upset feeling that hit her caused her to have trouble sleeping.
Meanwhile, Ellen had a good night’s sleep, and the following morning, Ellen knocked on Selena’s room to wake Selena up. Finding it tough to get out of bed, Selena told Ellen she wanted to take the day off to catch up on some sleep and told Ellen to go ahead to work alone.
Ellen had no choice but to leave for work first, and she hailed a cab to work.
Before she arrived at work, Ellen’s cell phone went off. She looked at the caller ID and was shocked because it was Jared on the line.
“Hello, President Presgrave. Have you arrived at work?”
“Where are you?”
“I’m about to arrive.”
“Don’t come upstairs. Wait for me at the entrance, and I’ll bring you to get some breakfast.
Jared hung up upon saying that and didn’t give her a chance to say no. Meanwhile, Ellen felt slightly awkward. Is my job here just to keep him company for meals? This is such an easy job!
Although Ellen stood at the entrance, she chose a secluded spot in the corner because she was worried about being the topic of speculation. The gossip she had heard in the elevator yesterday frightened her.
Jared was quite eagle-eyed and spotted her, so he accelerated and drove his sports car in front of her. She quickly yanked the door open to take a seat inside as soon as she noticed that Jared had parked the car.
Jared directed a complicated look at her with his deep eyes, and Ellen could feel him staring at her, so she blinked. ‘Is there something on my face?”
“No.” Jared curved his lips slightly. This is unexpected. This girl was actually bold enough to titillate me last night, but now, she’s putting on an innocent front. Is she aware that I was kept awake until two in the morning last night because of that? He couldn’t tell why she would want to check out his abs and wondered whether she felt something for him.
Jared took the opportunity to look at the lady next to him as he looked in the rearview mirror. She had a dainty face that was quite innocent-looking, and she kept mum about her titillating actions last night.
“Did you have a good night’s sleep last night?” He couldn’t help asking.
She nodded. “Yes. I did.”
“How would you rate my body?” Jared suddenly wanted her to give a rating. After all, she had seen it at no cost.
Hearing that, she blushed bright red and stared aghast at her big boss. What’s wrong with President Presgrave today? Why did he suddenly want me to rate his body?
“It’s great. It’s better than a model’s figure.” Ellen could only choose some complimentary words. Besides, he did actually have an exceptional figure.
“So… Do you like it?” Jared turned his head and asked.
At that point, Ellen blushed bright red once again, and she replied brazenly, “Every girl would like it.”
What’s wrong with President Presgrave? Ellen was quite dumbfounded deep down.
Meanwhile, Jared curved his lips into a sinile. That means she actually loves it, huh? No wonder it wasn’t enough for her last night, and she wanted to see more What else does she actually want from me? There is only my face left, other than my figure is she hinting at something else?
“Ellen, do you like me?” Jared suddenly asked.
At that point, Ellen’s mind buzzed. Did President Presgrave get dumped by someone? Why is he suddenly randomly asking someone whether they like him or not?!
“Of course, I do! You’re my boss, so how could I possibly dislike you?” Ellen replied with a smile.
“What if I wasn’t your boss? Would you still like me?” Jared asked. Ellen’s reply was not to his liking.
She nodded once again. “Yes, I would still like you.”
After Jared heard that, he kept having a feeling that she wasn’t sincere and sounded perfunctory. Shouldn’t she be specific and list out what she likes about me? She wasn’t ambiguous like this when she teased me last night.
Just then, they arrived at the breakfast joint, and Ellen finally got out of the car with slightly wobbly knees as soon as he parked the car. There is something wrong with President Presgrave today. Why is he acting so strange?
Ellen trudged along upstairs by trailing after the man in front of her. At the same time, she couldn’t stop studying his body from top to bottom. His figure is even more perfect than a model’s. His clothes also perfectly accentuate that!
Ellen cupped her chin with her hands after they had taken a seat and ordered their meal. Inadvertently, her eyes met his as he stared at her from across the table. Her heart raced in response. The look in President Presgrave’s eyes is strange. Why does he keep staring at me? Is there some dirt on my face?
“President Presgrave, did I do something wrong?” Ellen asked gingerly.
Jared immediately continued the topic unfinished from the previous night and restarted the conversation, “Other than my body, what else would you like to check out?”
“Uhh. I.” Ellen looked at him red-faced. Since when did I say that I wanted to check out his body? Other than his body, what else could I check out? Why does his question sound so intimate?
Red as a tomato, Ellen considered the situation for quite some time but couldn’t seem to come up with a suitable reply to this intimate question. Subsequently, she gulped and said, “President Presgrave, did someone dump you?”
His questions were just too unusual, and it felt like he was trying to prove his masculinity. Could it be because some woman broke up with him?
Jared was taking a sip of water, and upon hearing her question, he choked on the water and sputtered. He coughed softly for a moment before lifting his head to stare at her with glittering eyes. What sort of question is that?! I don’t even have a girlfriend, so how could I possibly be dumped?!
“I had trouble sleeping last night because of you. Don’t you think you should make up for it?” Jared said this with a huff.
Ellen was confused from the moment she met him today. At that instant, she was even more so perplexed. / caused him to have trouble sleeping? How? And I am supposed to make up for it?
“President Presgrave, could you make things clearer? How did I cause you to lose sleep? What did I do to you last night?” Ellen blinked her large eyes and revealed an innocent look.
